I tried it, and yes, browsing was a pain in the neck, but it could be done. I haven't seen any evidence that my ISP has done this yet, so my little test is pretty meaningless. The paper SUMware linked on a similar topic about Phorm indicated that they were duplicating your traffic to accomplish the data gathering.

There presently is not a way to reach the internet when an ISP chooses to use these services in the U.S.. Even if your ISP does not subscribe to these services on their server you can still be affected if they subscribe to a larger network they go through where the software can be running on a remote server.
